For the guys running skinnies:
I ran 165/85r/15 radials on my car for a few years. They were Kumho brand. They each weighed 17lbs. I switched to the Moroso 2-ply bias tire. They each weigh 9lbs.
radial 165/85/15.......17lbs (each)
Moroso MOR-17050.....9lbs (each)
Saves 16 lbs unsprung weight
They aren't legal on the street though, and they won't last a real long time either, also not recommended for full-weight cars at all, use discretion.

this is the weight from my car
Z06 18x10.5s w/ 305-35 nittos weighed 54 lbs each (almost worn to the wear strips)
Z06 17x9s w/ cheap 275s weighed 56 lbs each (brand new)
did not understand the 18s being lighter, so the nittos must be fairly light for their size

Got curious about a pin on/ lexan hatch.... got in a argument with i guy cuz i said it was a 75# reduction from the stocker......
Lexan sitting next to it. just Weighed it......10#
Stock Hatch w/o glass(mine window got busted outta it) 58#....just weighed it also
So......
10 Lexan Window
8 Hatch - VFN Hatch 93-02 is posted as 8# on their site
2 hardware
20# total
EDIT
Stock
58 Hatch
30??? Glass maybe
... hatch dampeners & hinges
... hatch lock/latch
...
88#
So depending how far off i was on guessing the window weight it came to 68# weight reduction
SO IF ANYONE HAS A STOCK REAR WINDOW FOR A INSTALL U SHOULD TOTALY WEIGH IT

ttop 'hump' isnt so much a hump. it is referring to the ttop tub. people remove the ttop tub and smaller tubs on each side of the ttop tub and weld in sheet metal which makes a flat trunk/hatch floor and saves weight

Couldn't find this anywhere. Stock OEM steel hood weight, stock OEM SS hood weight.
Stock steel LS1 1998 to 2002 hood with brackets and insulation=51 lbs 8 oz.
2002 OEM SS hood with brackets=51 lbs 4 oz
Both hoods repainted once.
Weighed with a certified, legal scale.
